Auschwitz 3
At the third Auschwitz camp, prisoners were forced to work for Buna, a rubber company, for cheap labor. Even though these prisoners were working in a factory, they were still treated horribly and were beaten a lot of the time if they did not preform the job up to standards. However, the prisoners that did complete the job to satisfaction were rewarded by being able to wear certain clothing and jewelry or even just grow their hair out. Auschwitz III also had the killing methods like the gas chambers and prisoners still starved to death.
